My Rocket Ship
When I fall asleep, I dream about what it would be like to have a rocket ship. If I had a rocket ship, my
first destination would be the Earth's moon, which is called Luna. When I got to Luna I would jump all
around. Because there is little gravity I would be able to jump very high. After I finished jumping all over the
moon, I would fly to Saturn and travel around Saturn's beautiful rings. On my way to Saturn, I would try to
avoid a number of Asteroids. Asteroids are large pieces of rocks and minerals. In my science class I learned
that would take me almost my entire life to travel to Pluto. Pluto is the last Planet in our solar system.
Because it's so far from our Sun that it is super cold. I wish I could see Pluto up close.
